Chapter 97

After chatting with Zhang Dongguo, Li Zhengxi took Sun Yizhen's advertising contract from the company and left the office, preparing to go downstairs. However, he was met by Li Sujing and her two daughters.

"!" As soon as Zheng Xiujing saw him, she rushed over, hugged his leg, and said in a sweet voice, "I told my classmates that I know you, but they said I was lying!"

Then she pouted and huffed, looking very cute. Li Zhengxi picked her up and pinched her rosy cheeks, smiling, "Is that so? Then I'll go to your kindergarten and prove it to them when I have time!"

"Okay, okay!" Zheng Xiujing nodded vigorously, but then her eyes twinkled and she added, "But that way, they would also know you..."

Li Zhengxi was taken aback, then he and Li Sujing laughed together.

Li Sujing was accompanying Zheng Xiuyan for dance training. During the day, Zheng Xiuyan still attended school, and only on weekends and evenings did she learn dance and acting.

For some reason, Zheng Xiuyan was always very shy in front of Li Zhengxi, and she never dared to speak to him. But today was an exception. Once inside the practice room, she suddenly took out a pen and paper from her backpack and handed them to Li Zhengxi, saying shyly, "My classmate said she wants your autograph..."

"Oh, sure!" Li Zhengxi smiled, took the pen and paper, but Li Sujing tapped her and scolded, "You're always so lively at home. If you want to be a star, you can't be so timid!"

Zheng Xiuyan blushed and glared at her mother, "That's not true, don't say such nonsense!"

At this age, children are rebellious. Li Sujing was about to scold her, but Li Zhengxi pulled her back and said with a smile, "How many do you need? If you give me their names, I can write a message for them..."

Zheng Xiuyan shook her head, "No, just the signature, I need three!" But then she bit her lip and added weakly, "Can you sign one for me too..."

Li Zhengxi and Li Sujing both laughed. The latter patted Zheng Xiuyan, who had covered her face, and scolded, "You little brat, just ask for it, no need to beat around the bush!"

"That's a sign of intelligence!" Li Zhengxi joked, then quickly and skillfully wrote a message and signed it, handing it to her. He added, "Train hard and study well. I'll give you a gift at Christmas..."

Zheng Xiuyan's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Yes, I won't let you down!" Meanwhile, Zheng Xiujing, not wanting to be left out, raised her hand, "I want a Christmas gift too..."

Li Sujing looked at Li Zhengxi, who treated them as he always had, with a sense of nostalgia. She had heard the recent rumors and, besides being curious about this young man with such a deep background, she also felt a sense of awe.

Of course, there was also admiration and gratitude for signing with the company. Looking at everything around her, in just a few months, the company had grown several times over, and Li Zhengxi himself had become a big star.

Perhaps, from him, she could see the bright future for her two daughters...

After chatting for a while, Zheng Xiuyan started her training. In the nearly 60 square meter dance studio, she was alone, though her sister Zheng Xiujing was also practicing, it still felt empty and a bit lonely.

Of course, if Kim Tae-hee, Song Ji-hyo, Ha Ji-won, and Sun Yizhen were all available, it would be lively, but that was rare.

Perhaps sensing this, Li Sujing turned to Li Zhengxi with a smile, "When will the company start holding auditions and recruiting more young people?"

She asked because she was familiar with Li Zhengxi; otherwise, such questions would be taboo. Li Zhengxi didn't mind and smiled, "The company's overall structure isn't complete yet. It's too early to do that..."

Anything requires professionals to handle it; otherwise, it would just waste resources and mislead people.

He smiled again and said, "However, the company's artists will increase rapidly, and Xiuyan will have more companions soon," he paused and added, "In about a year!"

As he spoke, a glint appeared in his eyes. For * Entertainment, he wasn't just thinking about T and E. The company had accumulated many promising young talents due to T's success, and with the Devil Entertainment System, he knew which ones were truly excellent.

Therefore, when the unprecedented investigation by the Korean police into the pop music industry occurred, and * Entertainment was involved, he would launch a poaching operation against * Entertainment.

This was the best strategy while the company lacked the resources to hold auditions and train new talent. Of course, things wouldn't be that simple, whether in reality or in the feedback from the Devil Entertainment System.

So, he was now rapidly accumulating strength and various values in the game. He had come this far and couldn't afford to fail!

After staying for about half an hour, it was almost eight o'clock, and Li Zhengxi had things to do, so he temporarily said goodbye to Li Sujing and the others.

Going downstairs, Li Zhengxi first called Sun Yizhen to make sure she wasn't out, so he wouldn't make a wasted trip.

The call connected, but it was noisy on the other end. Then, Sun Yizhen's playful voice came through, "Song Yoon-a, you are my angel, I love you..."

Li Zhengxi was speechless and pretended not to hear, then asked irritably, "Where are you?"

Unfortunately, Sun Yizhen was still being silly and countered, "Where are you? Are you having a candlelit dinner with the angel-like Song Yoon-a? Wow, that's so romantic. We're so pitiful, we can only listen to loud rock music on the terrace to dispel our loneliness..."

Finally, he figured out where she was and hung up, then drove to Chengbeidong.

It took him half an hour to get home. Opening the door, he could hear the loud rock music from the distant terrace, and through the bright terrace lights, he could see people moving and shouting.

Li Zhengxi smiled wryly and quickly entered the house, going upstairs.

Goodness, Sun Yizhen, who had just received the money, wasn't stingy at all. For just the two of them, the food and drinks filled the table.

"Hey, great lover, you're here!" Sun Yizhen saw him first, giggling as she ran over, putting her hand on his shoulder and sniffing him, then said, "Hmm, why isn't there the scent of an angel's perfume? Has she ignored you?"

This girl was really getting into it. She continued, clutching her chest with a tragic look, "Oh, my heart hurts. How can she ignore me? Does she not love me anymore? Oh, my God, what should I do?"

At this point, she couldn't keep it up and burst out laughing with Ha Ji-won.

However, Li Zhengxi was already used to it. He didn't get angry but smiled and countered teasingly, "Are you two jealous?"

"Pfft!" The two women stopped laughing and sneered in unison.

But Li Zhengxi also sneered and said, "Why are you so envious when I sincerely praise a beautiful woman?"

"Is that what you call sincere praise?" Ha Ji-won scoffed, "It's disgusting and sappy!"

As if to prove her point, she said to Sun Yizhen, "Do you know what people are saying now? They all say you must have a thing for Song Yoon-a, and she's definitely the lead role..."

Li Zhengxi chuckled and countered with a previous example, "Is that so? If I remember correctly, during the auditions for 'Blue生死恋' (Blue生死恋), you also said the same about Song Hye-kyo, but what was the result?"

When Ha Ji-won and Sun Yizhen were taken aback, he added, "Of course, I think Song Yoon-a is the best choice for this role. As for the reason," he glanced at Ha Ji-won and smiled, "Do you want to know?"

"Pfft... I don't care!" The two women expressed their disdain again, but it was clear they were very curious, which was evident in their eyes.

Li Zhengxi was amused, slowly sat down, poured himself half a glass of red wine, and picked up a piece of fried chicken to savor it.

This deliberate act made the two women's teeth grind in frustration, and almost simultaneously, they reached out to pinch Li Zhengxi.

But Li Zhengxi was prepared and rolled away. However, he didn't keep them in suspense any longer and said with a chuckle, "To be honest, whether in figure, appearance, or acting, you are not inferior to Song Yoon-a. However, you are still young and have experienced less, so you can't perfectly portray the mature charm that time has given to women, which is exactly what the role needs. With that, plus good acting, the character's charm will shine brilliantly..."

Ha Ji-won and Sun Yizhen were stunned. Li Zhengxi's words were undoubtedly reasonable, and they had to accept it. Of course, he had also praised Ha Ji-won's beauty and talent, which made them feel good.

However, knowing she had lost the chance for the role, Ha Ji-won was a bit upset and said stubbornly, "Pfft, talking about mature charm, I think you just have a special preference for older women..."

After saying that, she and Sun Yizhen burst out laughing again.

However, Li Zhengxi's next words immediately silenced them, "Is that so? But you two are also older than me!"

Happy Thanksgiving to all the readers! Good luck!
